Thank you!

The following list of people have generously contributed their medical expertise, time, money, prayers, effort and help to make Zach’s success possible. There will never be enough words to convey the appreciation that we the Zagelow’s feel for all of the people on this list. Successful heart-lung transplants in this age group are almost unheard of. I am told that at the time of Zach’s transplant that there haven't been much more than 10 successful heart-lung transplants in patients under two years old in the world. Please know that if your name is on this list you have participated in the success of a rare medical miracle.

Also please note that if your name is not on this list it probably should be. We are missing many significant people and especially many nurses and trust fund contributors . Please E-Mail us your name or the names of others who have contributed in any way, this include thoughts and prayers. Thank you and God bless. - Mike, Gina & Zach Zagelow mike@zacharyz.com

A Special Thank you.

The family of the two year old boy who, in spite of their pain from losing their child, could put aside their pain to donate their child’s organs so that our son and others could get a second chance at life. Thousands wait for the gift of life, thank you for remembering them in your time of tragedy.

Dr. Bruce Reitz who preformed the worlds first ever successful heart-lung transplant at Stanford in 1981 and who also preformed Zachary’s transplant. Thank God for people who aren't afraid to go first.

Dr. Hrair Garabedian who was and is there for us no matter what the time of day. Currently the only pediatric cardiologist in Spokane, even after many years of service to 100’s of kids in Spokane, Dr. Garabedian still feels the joys and pains of every child as if they were his own. Thank you.
